Graduation gift ideas
The classic graduation gift is a bouquet or a flower box made for the occasion, with balloons, because it shows in the photos. For something that stays with the graduate afterwards, choose a perfume or a piece of silver. Which one suits the graduate's taste? On Haddiyah you don't have to guess: shortlist 2 to 8 graduation gifts; the graduate picks one and sets where and when to receive it in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Graduation bouquets and boxes
A bouquet is the first thing that comes to mind for a graduation, and some bouquets and boxes are made for the occasion, a few with a graduation cap. A hand bouquet suits the ceremony and the photos; a box or a basket is better if the gift is going to the house.
You can see every kind under flower bouquets and baskets and boxes.
Graduation balloons
Balloons are what turn a gift into a celebration. Order them in the same order as the bouquet and everything arrives together. There are also letter and number balloons for the graduate's initial or the graduation year.
Flowers with chocolate for the well-wishers
One gift for the eye and the taste: flowers for the graduate, and chocolate to pass around to everyone who comes to congratulate. A practical choice when you know the house will be full that day.
A vase that stays after the party
If you want the gift to last beyond the day, a vase arrives arranged, goes straight onto a table at home, and keeps the occasion alive for days. A top-up of water every two days is all it needs.
A gift that stays: silver and perfume
For a gift that outlives flowers: a silver ring or earrings, or a perfume with a familiar name. Jewelry is delivered in Riyadh and takes longer to prepare, so order it days before the ceremony. For rings, the graduate chooses the size from the link.
High school graduation gifts
A high school graduate is usually celebrated by the family at home before university starts, so match the gift to their age. For girls, a graduation bouquet with balloons spelling her name, or silver earrings delivered in Riyadh. For boys, a perfume he picks himself, since it is the first one he will wear to university.
A graduation cake completes the family gathering and looks good in the photos, and these are delivered in Riyadh. For a surprise at home, see graduation surprise ideas, and for card wording see what to write in a gift card.
Before you send
- For the day of the ceremony, order the day before so the graduate has time to set the location early.
- Not sure of their taste? Pick several gifts with let them choose and the graduate takes the favourite. You pay the rest after they choose.
- Write the graduate's name and degree on the card. It makes a difference.
- If you are a group of friends or family, put your money into one bigger gift instead of several small ones.
- If the graduate is your daughter, see gifts for a daughter.
